As wearables provide new health-related functionalities, they can be employed in hospitals to monitor patients and notify the medical personnel regarding their status. However, in order to be approved by the medical ...

An overview of the main characteristics of the real time emulator (RTE) to be implemented in the context of the Rainbow project is presented. First of all, the RTE functional description is shown in order to justify the ...

As the number of nodes in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) increases, new challenges have to be faced in order to maintain their performance. A fundamental requirement of several applications is the correct transmission of ...

Due to the dense small cell deployment to cope with the increased data traffic of fifth generation (5G) networks, the direct backhaul (BH) connection of all small cells to the core network becomes challenging. To that end, ...

The emerging Internet of Things paradigm has triggered an explosion in ad-hoc applications that require connectivity among the nodes of wireless networks. However, the channel randomness and the random deployment of such ...

We demonstrate for the first time an analytical model for computing the end to end packet delay of an Optical/Wireless 60GHz Radio-over-Fiber (RoF) network
operating under the Medium-Transparent MAC (MT-MAC) protocol. The ...
